Renee and Mason went to the study to discuss matters, while Sylvia stomped her feet in relief. "Thank goodness Renee showed up. She saved my life. If my older brother knew I took you to see Renee and ran into Melissa Garcia again, he would have beaten me up."Elaine sat on the sofa, reading a newspaper. Initially, she didn't think much of Sylvia's complaint until she heard the name Melissa Garcia. She paused slightly and closed the newspaper, then asked casually, "What's the matter with Melissa Garcia? Why can't I see her?""It's her," Sylvia snapped back to reality, putting a hand over her mouth and avoiding Elaine's gaze. She awkwardly smiled and said, "Isn't she Sarah Garcia's mother? I thought you might feel uncomfortable seeing her."Elaine could tell it was an excuse, and it was a waste of her dramatic experience. Clearly, Sylvia couldn't tell the truth, and Elaine didn't want to push her. She simply responded, "It's alright. My heart is strong now. I'm not afraid of them.""Tha

Elaine stood behind Aaron, hiding her face the whole time, while the reporters repeatedly called out "Miss Smith," making it obvious that someone intentionally leaked the information. Otherwise, even though Aaron was famous, he wasn't a big celebrity to the point where reporters would specifically track him, let alone a large group of reporters.Elaine wondered who would deliberately frame him, while Aaron kept a stern expression. Seeing that neither of them spoke, the reporters took advantage of the situation and approached them, trapping them in a confined space."Are you both remaining silent because you have an inappropriate relationship?" a reporter asked sharply, her eyes scanning directly towards Elaine, who was standing behind Aaron. "Miss Smith, please answer the question."The attitude was clearly targeting her. Elaine understood it very well and pushed Aaron aside, walking towards the camera with a confident smile. "Where is there anything inappropriate? If you don't believ

Elaine couldn't sleep soundly, and when her phone rang, she jumped in fright. Before answering the call, she glanced at the time. It was not even 5 o'clock in the morning. Who would call her at such an early hour?"Something big has happened, Elaine. Turn on your computer and go online. There's news about you everywhere."Her groggy body and mind took a while to respond. Elaine finally understood what Sylvia was talking about and casually replied, "Are you talking about last night? I've already clarified it, so there shouldn't be any problem...""There's already a problem," Sylvia exclaimed anxiously and quickly urged her, "Don't go out for now. Wait until I come back. Mason should be home soon. I can't talk anymore. Check online by yourself anyway..."The call was abruptly disconnected. Elaine was now partially awake and quickly turned on the lights. She put on a robe and walked to the desk, opening her laptop. While waiting for it to start up, she carefully recalled the events of la

"Let go of me," Elaine said through gritted teeth, her furrowed brows filled with anger.Aaron's hands held her tightly, making it impossible for her to break free. The past that she had once longed for but never expected...Elaine mocked, "What's wrong? Did you suddenly remember your deceased ex-wife? She's dead, yet you still pretend to be infatuated. Who are you acting for this time?"That foolish past always left her unsettled.Aaron's face darkened, and if one were to carefully discern, his usually inscrutable eyes flickered with a hint of pain. He stared blankly at Elaine's delicate profile, his eyes filled with profound waves.Elaine's slender shoulders trembled lightly with frustration. She turned her face away, gazing out of the window, her lips tightly pursed.She really didn't want any more entanglements with this man."I..." she interrupted Aaron, "You don't need to make excuses for yourself. Ask your conscience, if it weren't for my face, would you be interested in me? Aa

As the words fell, Mason, wearing only a robe, walked down the stairs. Despite having taken a shower, his handsome face couldn't hide his exhaustion. He held a cup of coffee in his hand, with a hint of a smile on his lips but a piercing gaze in his eyes.The two sat facing each other, and Mason took a few sips of coffee with his right hand. Seeing Aaron remaining silent, he placed the coffee cup on the table and looked at him with a slightly weary expression.Aaron crossed his legs, appearing relaxed. "Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I have a question for Mr. Smith. Elaine's background seems quite mysterious."Mason raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. "Mr. Brown seems to be particularly concerned about Elaine's affairs?""Yes," Aaron admitted surprisingly openly. This exceeded Mason's expectations, and he furrowed his brow slightly.Aaron explained in a slightly melancholic tone, "She looks very similar to someone from my past, no, not just similar, almost identical.""So what?"
